Wet Felted Bag/Bowl on a Ball Workshop with Needlessly Felted at Sam Dales Holmes Chapel

22 May @ 11:00 am - 3:00 pm

£60

Join us for a creative, hands-on workshop exploring the sculptural side of wet felting with Vicky Pulman of Needlessly Felted.

Using the resist method and working over a ball, you’ll learn how to build up layers of fibre, roll, shape, and coax them into a seamless felted bag – strong, practical, and completely unique. We’ll begin with a base of Perandale wool batts, chosen for their softness, bounce, and ability to felt firmly into shape.

From there, you’ll explore a rich palette of fibres and textures to bring your design to life: Artisan and hand-dyed yarns for bold lines and expressive marks Bouclé yarns and neps for loops, bumps, and tactile detail Silks for lustrous highlights and movement Wool locks for organic textures and sculptural depth Your bag becomes more than functional – it’s a canvas of fibre, layered and fused together through the rhythm of rolling, water, and soap.

You’ll discover how to handle different fibres, how to build strength into your form, and how to finish your bag so it’s both durable and beautiful. All materials and expert guidance are included. No felting experience needed – just curiosity and the joy of making.
